Hi Jean,
I have just downloaded your latest template from Nextcloud and started
applying it to Calc Guide chapters. A few minor queries have arisen.
The list of paragraph styles contains the legacy LOList 1_TextBody
style. Should this style be used and, if not, could it be deleted from
the template? As a very minor point, should a full stop be included at
the end of the Feedback paragraph in the front matter? At a recent team
meeting it was suggested that the note beginning “Everything you send to
a mailing list…” might warrant being upgraded to a caution. If I recall
correctly, Dan Lewis made the suggestion but I don’t recall whether it
was accepted or not.
Regards,
Steve

I have tweaked my version of the v7 template some more (things I
missed in the previous iteration) and replaced the file in NextCloud.
We still need a replacement graphic/logo for the cover page (without
text) and perhaps a change in the Caution icon as recommended by Dan
Lewis.

Both those items were put in by Olivier. I forgot to change the month field,
which you had mentioned earlier; I’ll do that. As for the logo on the first
page, I think the graphic is too complicated, in addition to the (more
important) text problem you mention.

Hi, Jean,
I have one request:
please remove date fields for month of publication (page 2): languages with cases are not supported properly in LO and
LO does not properly adjust month names (e.g. in Slovenian, LO replaces "January" with nominative
"januar", but in this sentence it should be genitive "januarja", like "12. januarja
2020"; as this is a field - editing it later is also cumbersome and it actually brings us to manually deleting the
fields and retyping the sentence).
So, for the sake of l10n into languages with cases (like Slavic languages
etc.) please omit month field names and replace them with normal words that can
easily be properly translated (in OmegaT, for example) as simple strings.
BTW, why is the logo on the manual cover sub-titled as "Community Edition" - why is
"Community Edtion" string required here? Can this string be localized? Can a l10n team replace the
logo with "only" basic LO logo in its localized edition? Or remove the logo? Probably yes.
Thanks,
m.

I have now updated the draft v7 chapter template from comments by
several team members in an earlier discussion, and I have replaced the
file named LibreOffice_7.x_Template_JHW.ott in the English >
Contributors Resources folder in NextCloud.
https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/apps/files/?dir=/LibreOffice%20Documentation/English/Contributor%20Resources&fileid=81380
Direct shared link: https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/yLJCPaqqoTSzGz3
Please try it out and see if you find any errors or omissions.
When we agree to use this or another variation of the template, and
Olivier approves it, we'll need to change the filename to remove my
initials.
Regards, Jean
